Entertaining till the end
The first time I picked up this series I gave up by the end of the first episode because both the FL's lack of facial expression and the game's graphics put me off. However, I kept noticing the MDL high rating and after almost a year I decided to give it another try, prepared with a high tolerance for the FL and game component. It was really worth it and if you have been put off by the same elements, I can tell you that even though the FL's suffers from lack of expression, her character is actually great and the games are well done with amazing anime parts that easily pull you in the fights. The side plots are well integrated into the main plot, are varied, and are dealt with within a certain number of episodes, making the whole thread fairly satisfying. I also quite liked the secondary couple which for me is rare. I am really glad I gave it another try.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?

A MUST WATCH!
Love the cast, ost, the actors are so powerful, the acting is so on point! no cringiness, no awkwardness! this drama really left me messmerised. This is the first modern chinese drama ive watched so far (only watched historical ones before) Lu Si Cheng and Tong Yao's chemistry is so high like it can go up to the sky. The other roles like K, Lao Mao, Fatty, Lu Yue, God Ming, EVERYONE DID AN AWESOME JOB! I love everything, the movie has the best good-looking cast i ever seen!! Really hopping for season 2 to be announced!Lots of sweet moments! Lots of happy and funny moments! But I wont forget that i did tear up at some point too.
THIS IS A MUST WATCH GUYS! just cmon. Give it a try babyyy

Cute, adorable, inspirational and a jackpot of handsome men!!
First and foremost, I would like to mention that this drama is so much sweet and has a bunch of handsome men. From the male lead to the delivery guys all are so cute. Remember not to watch the drama while eating or drinking, you might choke to death lol xDThe story is an anticipated, usual story and mostly revolves around the lives of celebrities and their relationship with fans. It also stresses what aspect we are considering when we are someone's fan. Is it the person's beauty or the strength he or she carries? It might not be much plot-driven but if you want to laugh the hell out of you this is a must-watch.
The gaming scenes are just lit! the strategies and technical aspects of the games are well explored.
Coming to the acting part, as usual, the ML Xu Kai, the torch bearer, is always impressive. It feels so realistic and sweet by the way he looks at the FL as if everything is real. His handsomeness is an added advantage. Every time he smiles it took my heart away!! It's like he has a multiple-shaded character. As a caring man towards his crush, as a responsible team captain, and most importantly a strong and straightforward celebrity. But again unlike the usual dramas where the ML is shown utterly perfect, he has his flaws. Which is again a severe cry moment in the end.
The FL Cheng Xiao did her best. Since it's her recent project, we hope her better would be out soon. Their chemistry from the very first was so good. Their fights and talks are all so sweet that might seriously bring butterflies into your stomach. A few scenes are so nice that we feel so involved in them.
as the story progresses, it shows more and more character development. every character has their own strong story. It might have been incomplete without any one of them.
the second leads are way too impressive, though their screen chemistry is limited, it feels so good.
I laughed with them and cried with them. Especially the last episode is a bucket full of emotions.
All in all, if you are a strict yes to esports rom-com with all the fun and humor this is worth watching. Go for it. you won't regret it.
HAPPY WATCHING!!

Cute Romance With Overboard Product Placement
FIYS features a cute romance between Ton Yao, the first female e-sports player on the team, and Lu Si Cheng, the team’s captain. The actors, Cheng Xioa and Zu Kai, had excellent chemistry together. It seriously had some of the best kissing scenes and romantic gestures I’ve seen in a Cdrama before! I absolutely adored Lu Si Cheng. While he had a standoffish personality, at his core you could see the care and attention he gave to the people in his life. Zu Kai played these attributes to perfection. I was less impressed with Cheng Xioa’s performance. She did sarcasm and pouty really well, but it got a bit tiresome after 20+ episodes. A bit more emotional range would have been appreciated. The secondary characters were all interesting and unique in their own way even if the rarely got to have their own stories outside the main plot.As this is an e-sports drama, it included tons of game footage. I found these parts to be rather uninteresting and boring, but the animation and shots were well done. In fact, the overall production of the show was top notch. However, the slick camera shots and beautiful cinematography came at a price. Product placement is RAMPANT in this show. Full on scenes were spent with characters essentially buying something without any main purpose to the plot or story. The actors did well with those scenes - I, personally, would have laughed if I had to shoot a mini-commercial during a drama as an actor.

A MUST WATCH SHOW
This drama was absolutely amazing from the storyline to the acting, it was incredible. I created an account just to review this drama. If you are looking for something wholesome, youthful and satisfying, this is the show to watch. I enjoyed the chemistry between all of the characters within the drama, especially the two leads. The FL and ML had one of the most unique and pure relationship that I have ever seen out of any youth type dramas. The conflicts in the drama are not exactly intense or thrilling. However I think that because this drama has a youth vibe to it that without such heavy conflicts, it does not stray away from the main atmosphere or feel this drama gives off. The OST of this drama is also really good. The FL and ML even have a song together on the soundtrack. Throughout watching this drama, it made me genuinely happy with the relationship between all the characters to the adorable storyline. I really recommend to whoever is looking for a good drama to go watch Falling Into Your Smile.*It was so good that I hope there is a season 2 with the original cast and everything.

Meets Expectations, Enjoyable
I immensely enjoyed this drama on a fully subjective level, however there was way too much wrong with it on an objective level for me to give it a super high rating. Just know, it's a fun, cute watch.Some of the best aspects:
- Great friendship dynamics; I love shows that don't have an excess of irrational interpersonal conflict and instead focus on relationships growing/changing/etc
- A romance focusing on a shared interest and passion for something (my favorite kind), combined with great on-screen chemistry. Good, funny bickering/ust that never strayed into meanness or rudeness
- Main lead female character with her own story/depth
Some of the biggest flaws:
- poorly dubbed: In a modern drama, dubbing generally is a con, but this is below-average dubbing, rarely allowing me to forget that it's dubbed, which leads into the next problem:
- a lack of emotion in acting. the disconnect between between actors' facial expressions and their emotions in the scene, the static way the scenes are blocked and filmed... it all ties in with the unnatural dubbing. It's like they filmed some scenes and filled the emotion in when dubbing. There are DEFINITELY cdramas that are worse at this, and it's an idol drama filled with idol actors, so it's not like I was expecting more, but it was still a flaw.
- I just don't think it's appropriate for Xu Kai to be in these teen-centered/youth-marketed dramas. The dynamic between the characters (domineering male lead/weak female lead) made me uncomfortable sometimes knowing Xu Kai's past.
-Moments of quite explicit xenophobia/anti-Korean sentiment. I expect nationalism from any narrative focusing on competitive sports or competitions, but there are definitely stereotypes being MADE by this show, and then it tries to throw in a line or two to make it "ok"

Drama carino e leggero.
Drama molto carino in se,leggero forse a tratti un po' lento, qualche puntata in meno sarebbe andato bene lo stesso .Incentrato sui videogiochi e se non si è proprio amanti potrebbe anche annoiare, perché se ne parla continuamente e ci sono anche termini professionali tecnici che per molti sono sconosciuti ma comunque si riesce a vederlo.La storia d'amore ci mette tanto a svilupparsi e decollare ma poi è un dolcissimo amore.Loro sono proprio carini insieme.Tratta temi anche un po' più delicati come la prima ragazza nei esports,l'infortunio dei giocatori,la rivalità,i fan fanatici ed esagerati.Nel complesso è un drama senza troppe pretese si guarda volentieri ed è anche piacevole.

Super fun drama
I Loved it! Definitely gonna need a rewatch soon! I'm not even really a fan of dramas focused on games like this one, but I surprisingly really enjoyed it. Better than Love 020 imo and the game aspect was even interesting. The main leads romance and chemistry was also amazing. Definitely looking forward to more dramas from the two of them and I hope they are in more together. The only thing I have to criticize is some of the side plot such as with the family drama, but thankfully I feel like it didn't take up too much time.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?

It was a good drama!
I liked this drama a lot, because it was refreshing, cute and funny. Actors have a good chemistry. For me it was a little bit similar to "Go go squid", but I liked both dramas, so I recommend to watch "Falling in to your smile". 🥰For ost I don't liked that much, because it was not catchy, maybe I liked only the ost that was sang by main couple actors.
I liked to rewatch cute dramas, so maybe in the future I would like to rewatch and this drama, but I think not everybody will want to rewatch this drama.

Drama jest OK.
Początkowo byłam bardzo zauroczona dramą, gdyż wątek miłosny nie był pierwszym planem całej serii. Główna postać nie była sierotką Marysią, która płacze nad rozlanym mlekiem. Niestety mój entuzjazm malał w dalszych odcinkach. To co początkowo bardzo mi się podobało, czyli mecze - zaczęły z czasem być zwyczajnie nudne. Wyglądały jakby tylko drużyna przeciwna się zmieniała. Nawet dialogi podczas były niemal identyczne oraz wygląd bohaterów 1 do 1. Również poprowadzenie głównego wątku było typowe, a bohaterka traciła w oczach na swojej niezależności i sile na rzecz "boga wśród mężczyzn", czyli lead bohatera męskiego i jego "troski". Głowna bohaterka zaczęła grać jak drewno, niczym Krisen Steward w Zmierzchu. Wielkim smutkiem był dla mnie również zepchnięcie pary pobocznej Jinyang i Ai Jia - jak dla mnie najciekawszych bohaterów serii. W ogóle mam wrażenie, że wszystko było słabo rozwinięte na rzecz miliona meczy, które nie wnosiły prawie nic. Bohaterowie drugoplanowi typu Arcykapłan czy chociażby koledzy z drużyny dostali mikroskopijną ilość uwagi, biorąc pod uwagę, że miało to aż tyle odcinków - zestawiając to z takim You Are My Destiny, które miało bodajże 36 odcinków - słabo to wypadło i było zero dramaturgi.Z pozytywnych rzeczy mogę na pewno zaliczyć bardzo dobrą oprawę muzyczną, w szczególności mogę pochwalić piosenkę Naomi Wong, która już znalazła się na mojej playliście na Spotify. Bardzo podobało mi się również estetyczne przedstawienie całej dramy m.in. zdjęcia graczy, które przypominały mi IEM Katowice 2019. Czuć klimat e-sportu, a to jest fajne. Całość oceniam na 7.5 :)
